Everyone dispersed one after another, but Cao Cao kept Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, "Meng De, you keep me and me, what else can I teach?" Yuan Shao asked curiously.

Yuan Shu looked at the young man who was following Cao Cao, "Meng De, the three of us are discussing, why did you let this hairy boy stay here?" ”

"Brother Highway, Brother Benchu, this is Mr. Guo Jia, who is engaged in Yanzhou and has recently joined our army! Mr. Guo Jia said those words just now, and he still has something to say to the two of you. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Guo Jia, since Meng De is so respected, it must be a master, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Yuan Shao has always been polite and virtuous, and this demeanor is still there.

Although Yuan Shu felt that Guo Jia was so young and had never heard of this person, Cao Cao had to give face, so he also sat down to see what else Guo Jia wanted to say?

Guo Jia was very calm, and gave a salute to the three of them, "My lord, the two adults, what I proposed just now is just an ordinary way to deal with it, I still have a good strategy to win here, but I need the help of the two adults to make it happen!" ”

"Oh, sir, has a good way to win? It's not a small tone, let's hear it. Yuan Shu said with some disapproval.

Guo Jia didn't care about Yuan Shu's attitude, he told the three of them his clever plan, one of them, how... Second, how ...

Cao Cao had already heard it once, so he naturally knew it, but Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were dumbfounded.

Guo Jia finally said: "If the above two strategies can be successful, we can deal with Lu Bu himself on the Luoyang side wholeheartedly." By the way, I heard that under the command of Lord Yuan Shao, there is also a Yellow River water division, I don't know what the current state is? Can you afford to fight? ”

Yuan Shao was still digesting Guo Jia's astonishing remarks, and only then did he react when he heard Guo Jia ask his water master.

"Oh, I have a naval division, which was left by Han Fu at the beginning, with hundreds of large and small warships and 6,000 naval troops, stationed in Liyang's naval army, I am afraid that there is only one naval division on the Yellow River, and the waterway of the Yellow River is at my disposal."

"Okay, when the time comes, I have another plan, I need to use the alliance leader's water army, maybe I can establish a miracle, the specific plan, I will talk to the lord in detail before the implementation, for now let it exist as a secret."

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were completely stunned by Guo Jia's bold ideas, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, but this strategy, this courage was enough to shock the world, and they were very envious of Cao Cao, especially Yuan Shu, there was a lack of such a great strategist and a great military division around him.

The next day, the Kwantung coalition army marched according to the original plan, Cao Cao's army took the lead, then Yuan Shao's army, and then the Qingzhou army, the Jingzhou army, the Xuzhou army, and the last to set off was Yuan Shu's army, which was responsible for the palace.

The deployment of an army of more than 300,000 people cannot be completed in a day or two, and in this process, a few thousand fewer people will not attract attention at all.

Lu Bu naturally sent a large number of people to monitor every move of the Kwantung Coalition Army, so as soon as this side was opened, Lu Bu quickly received the news.

He was standing on the tall east gate wall of Tiger Prison Pass, looking to the east, the sky was clear, and he could see far away, and there were plains and low hills everywhere.

There are several small rivers flowing slowly, the south is a large mountain, and the north is the Yellow River flowing eastward, and the sky is mighty.

And behind the Tiger Prison Pass, until Luoyang, it is also a flat terrain, and there are no dangerous levels.

Tiger Prison Pass is the last barrier of Luoyang City, and it is also a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Tiger Prison Pass is also called Chenggao Pass, Bishui Pass, by the mountains and rivers, tightly choking the post road to Luoyang.

Lu Bu had already decided to use the Tiger Prison Pass as the battlefield to conduct an offensive and defensive battle with the Kwantung coalition army, and for this reason he had already taken Ma Jun from Chang'an to Luoyang to prepare for the upcoming big war.

He didn't want to see Luoyang City, which he had worked so hard to rebuild, destroyed in the war, and there were still a large number of civilians in Luoyang City, unlike the Tiger Prison Pass, which was a large barracks.

The Tiger Prison Pass is being urgently strengthened and expanded, and the pass has been turned into a large barracks, where the main forces of the Central Army, as well as the Tuntian troops transferred from Bingzhou and Guanzhong, are gathered.

In addition, there are several local garrison brigades, as well as several independent brigades and reserve brigades transferred from the Baling battalion in Guanzhong.

In this offensive and defensive battle, it is not enough to rely on the main force alone, Lu Bu does not want to waste the precious main force in the attrition of the offensive and defensive battle, and mobile combat is where they come in.

From Puyang to Tiger Pass, it is four or five hundred miles away, and I am afraid that the Kwantung coalition army will have to walk for a few days.

Lu Bu ordered the scouts of the Intelligence Department and the Special Operations Brigade to keep a good grasp of the movements of the Kwantung Coalition Army, but among the coalition forces, there are big heroes like Cao Cao, and there are also big army division-level figures like Chen Gong, Tian Feng, and Xun Yu, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make any moths.

This is because Lu Bu didn't know that Guo Jia had appeared by Cao Cao's side, otherwise he would definitely be more careful.

At the end of March, the Kwantung coalition forces, which had been walking for six or seven days, finally arrived in front of the Tiger Prison Pass one after another.

The 300,000-strong army set up a company camp of nearly 100 miles 20 miles before the pass, and sent a large number of scouts, and it seems that they also know that the Central Army scouts are powerful, so that the Central Army can no longer reach close to reconnoitre.

The ditches, walled walls, and arrow towers are all built with a clear eye, and there are many of them, at least, don't think about stealing camps and robbing the village.

Lü Bu also saw at the head of the city that the coalition army sent a large number of soldiers to the nearby mountains to cut wood, apparently to build siege equipment.

He sent someone to inform Ma Jun in Luoyang that he could transport the big guys he had built to defend the city to the Tiger Prison Pass as soon as possible, and the insufficient ones could be built as soon as possible.

The big war is imminent, and the coalition forces will not wait and see this time like when they fought Dong Zhuo.

The Tiger Prison Pass has been heightened and thickened a lot, and the Tiger Prison Pass is a continuous group of mountains on one side, the Yellow River on the other side, and there are only two city gates in the east and west, so the coalition forces only have one way to attack the east city wall, and if they go around, they will go to Yingchuan.

There are two city walls inside and outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the outer wall is as high as six zhang, it was not so high originally, this is added to the height later, and the width of the city wall is more than three zhang.

The inner wall is one zhang higher than the outer wall, and it was not so high, and the city wall of Chang'an is only six zhang.

According to the ritual system, the walls of the rest of the kingdoms could only be two-thirds the height of the capital at most.

Lu Bu didn't care about these etiquette, just heightened and thickened, and strengthening the defense was the top priority.

There is also a moat outside the pass, which is more than ten zhang wide and about two zhang deep, and the river water directly leads to the Yellow River! There is only one wooden bridge over the river that connects the two banks.

In addition to the tall battlements on the city wall, every 100 zhang intervals, there is also an arrow tower about two zhang high.

Every forty or fifty zhang also built a horse face, that is, six or seven zhang protruding from the city wall, and a platform with a width of seven or eight zhang, which was used to flank the enemy under the city.

There is also an urn city at the east gate, which is as tall and short as the city wall, and it is very strong, and it is also very important.

In short, the defense facilities of Tiger Prison Pass are very perfect, and there was no loss during the last Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Sun Jian entered Luoyang from the direction of Nanyang.

The city wall on the east side is about twenty miles long, so Lu Bu will mobilize so many Tuntian troops and local garrison brigades, and the rough and tiring work of defending the city cannot be done by the central army, not to mention that half of the central army is cavalry!
